A number of Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa albums and CDs have been donated for a charity raffle and signed by some of the musicians who recorded them. The raffle is in aid of the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF).

There is no quality grading of the items to be won, so expect vinyl to be well played and CDs to have been opened for signing. Tickets cost $5.00 each and can be bought through PayPal. The draw takes place on August 25 at Satori in Mobile , AL . Ticket holders are invited to attend. Winners who cannot be present will be sent their prizes.

Thanks, guys- we’ve already had a great response! I’ll be posting photos of the finished albums as they come in- so far my favorite is Clear Spot. It looks fab with all the signatures under a clear sleeve. ARF really appreciates the plug!Kitty Tripp

Last update… and not even Beefheart related. Bunk Gardner has autographed the Mothers albums increasing the swellness factor exponentially. Thanks to the people on the Beefheart site for letting us pimp the raffle, and thanks to those of you have bought tickets. We’re closing up paypal shopping on the 23rd. Good luck- I hope someone on here wins some of these albums!
